howdy Gene...I presume your prediction of a dull race is based on there only being a certain amount of excitement each weekend and the F1 and Indy races nicked it all, no?
I detest them making Juan out to be better than he is...simple fact is that, even with the best engine and best tyres, he couldn't close the deal in F1 ('03 title) and got spanked by Kimi in the same team ('05 and '06).
Plenty were griping about the red flag at Monaco. Blaming that for letting Sea Bass change tires.... they were all going to change when it was yellow... red had no effect.
Ignoring you on twitter!??! I haven't logged on in about 4 days...major in the weeds at work this week - almost forgot to change my drivers. I am racing the 99,5,43,6.
I owe ya a starbucks Tez, I know, I know... =)
Lets hope MY National Guard driver is in a position to win it coming out of turn 4....california dreamin....
Had to watch the pitstops - my buddy dave is on the #17 - must have missed that loose lug Matty is concerned about on lap 59
That is a good point Gene - it was under yellow. That kid is from here - Sausalito - He almost got it on 3 wheels! (insert better than danica joke here...)
Creative writing exercise for when the race gets boring-
Broadcast the 2011 Trifecta season to date from the viewpoint of your three "favorite" talking heads (and no, thay don't all have to work for the same network)
not quite Gene, he blamed the media for blasting him for having a "personality", first they want drivers to have one and then when they show some they get blasted for it.
Several media harsh on him - calling him a baby or a jerk...lots of work for TR this week.
3 times on the over/under. Although, the whole Fox crew made it through the entire All-Star race without mentioning the "dreaded aero-push" even once. And, if there ever was a case for it, it was last Saturday.
No suggestions, but HOW did DEI AND Mikey let him get away!?!?!? I don't care if he had no driving talent, he is amazing off the track! A 20 year old with that personality.... the Wood Bros should be letting him meet with potential sponsors.
My Yahoo starters....

ReplyDeleteHey Tez... Definitely no way that the 600 can compete with the late race antics from both races earlier today.
ReplyDeletePlus, the more boring it is, the more likely for Kenseth to be there at the end. :)
Juan was a race winner before he came South (North?) to NASCAR. More than I can say for the Go-Daddy hype mid-packer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that, but they make him sound like he was the greatest F1 driver ever...and he was far from that, lol
ReplyDeleteKristen's ignoring me on twitter....think it had something to do with the hockey results?
ReplyDeleteVancouver will follow Calgary and Montreal as NHL champs the year after they held the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteI so hope so :)
ReplyDeletepotential problem for your boy....
ReplyDeletePlenty were griping about the red flag at Monaco. Blaming that for letting Sea Bass change tires.... they were all going to change when it was yellow... red had no effect.
ReplyDeleteis Sadler on standby for Menard still?
ReplyDeleteWho, Kenseth? *One night stand* lol
ReplyDeleteSadler didn't practice the car at all yesterday, but I imagine he's still there.
ReplyDeleteyeah, something about a vibration...unless he's just listening to the Beach Boys on the radio, lol
ReplyDeleteKyle, JJ, and Jr running faster than leader.
ReplyDeleteTSN just said that Hildebrand won the 500....Indycar website still says Wheldon however.
ReplyDeleteHey boys! I am only on lap 3 trying to catch up.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring you on twitter!??! I haven't logged on in about 4 days...major in the weeds at work this week - almost forgot to change my drivers. I am racing the 99,5,43,6.

You missed nothing so far, Kris.
ReplyDeletewhat lap is live?
ReplyDeleteTez I just followed you...I only have a Sharks colored shirt, not jersey! I do have a teal feather boa though... =)
just fast forward it, K...you won't have missed much, lol
ReplyDeleteLots of rumors about Panther protesting their car being passed under caution coming to the checkers. Panther denied it.
ReplyDeleteoooo nice, that makes 5 people now, go me! :P
ReplyDeleteHad to watch the pitstops - my buddy dave is on the #17 - must have missed that loose lug Matty is concerned about on lap 59
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point Gene - it was under yellow. That kid is from here - Sausalito - He almost got it on 3 wheels! (insert better than danica joke here...)
WTG, Tez! I'll expect no less after Carl hits the wall coming off four on the last lap tonight.
ReplyDeletewhy is streme standing by for biffle?
ReplyDeleteokay I am live! time to turn on the cuss machine - Kurts radio...LOL
ReplyDeletewas there any truth to the fuel number crunchers at Ganassi having fake beards and had their Penske logos taped over? :P
ReplyDeleteBif is sick, S&P Stremme standing by. Must have no one else available. lol
ReplyDeletestick Vettel in there....he's winning everything else, lol
ReplyDeleteKyle Petty has been stirring up Jr nation on twitter all weekend, funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Stremme + capable car = crash
ReplyDeleteAh...poor biff
ReplyDeleteI didnt hear anything about them taping over the Penske logos.....funny!
ooh like the wet tshirt contest the drivers are doing inside the car...hot! LOL
ReplyDelete500 finish video up on youtube. Yellow light came on AFTER Wheldon completed pass.
ReplyDeleteHey Speedy! Just wait, Tez is doctoring, uh, editing a vid of the finish right now. Wait til it hits youtube. lol
ReplyDeleteI was only kidding, Kristen....just found it amusing that they ran out of fuel in quals last week and again today, lol
ReplyDeleteheck no, I like Wheldon!
ReplyDeleteyou could tell me anything about IRL Tez, I dont pay any attention except when Helio is on!
ReplyDeleteanyone know what Brad has on the back of the #2?
Please tell us how the vacuum from the lead car pulls paper from the grille of the trailing car. ONE MORE TIME!
ReplyDeleteOkay Gene, ya see when you pull up on a car in front of you it creates a vacuum and allows for whatever dog is all up in your grill to fall off...
ReplyDeleteThis race already seems more exciting than the All-Star was.
ReplyDeleteLMAO KLV.... Now, how many titles has JJ won?
ReplyDeleteMarcos up to 6th....Biffle going off his nut on the radio, lol
ReplyDeleteGo Biff!
ReplyDeletewow...biffle is sick. that was funny!
ReplyDeleteAh, tough one Gene...five, five dollar footlong, no no no Five Time!! Five TIME!! FIVE TIME!!! (sound like DW enough?)
Go Matty!!!
ReplyDeleteDang it, I was going to go with Matty for the sweep in the trifecta but I think Carl will still pull it off. Love matty!
ReplyDeleteCreative writing exercise for when the race gets boring-
ReplyDeleteBroadcast the 2011 Trifecta season to date from the viewpoint of your three "favorite" talking heads (and no, thay don't all have to work for the same network)
They are making Mikey's book into a movie?!?! Am I actually going to have to read that book?!?!?
ReplyDeletehow many did DW win?
ReplyDeleteMatt is Kyle's only friend. lol Kyle held up Carl yesterday for 4-5 laps then moved over immediately for Matt.
ReplyDelete"How many laps until the next stop"= Are we there, yet?
ReplyDeleteOh ya oh ya...hamlin gonna blow??
ReplyDeleteTrifecta Season to Date
ReplyDeleteDW: Once ol' Four Time gets going, no one can stop him.
Joy: He picks drivers like Wild Thing drives. Hard to believe he never even watched NASCAR until a couple of years ago.
Larry: You're going to have to do your homework to beat the Dwindy One.
Rusty: Dwindy's got a fast hotrod under him and those other cats need to catch up fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the kinder gentler Kurt saying, Kristen?
ReplyDelete"Son of a b*tch" over and over...and now radio silence
ReplyDelete=) thats my boy!
my yahoo team; Vader, Burton, Kahne and Robby.
ReplyDeletewoo yeah, go Ambrose!
ReplyDeleteHe blamed his radio tirades on the media earlier in the week. I didn't even read how he came to that conclusion. lol
ReplyDeletedang its 5p already! gotta start prepping dinner.
ReplyDeleteTez... Robby? Gordon? There really should be a Class D, for S&Ps.
ReplyDeletenot quite Gene, he blamed the media for blasting him for having a "personality", first they want drivers to have one and then when they show some they get blasted for it.
ReplyDeleteSeveral media harsh on him - calling him a baby or a jerk...lots of work for TR this week.
Oh. Yes, they hate the robotic answers, then they get mad when Tony calls their questions stupid. Smoke was in fine form Thursday in the media center.
ReplyDeleteand pop goes the Cupcake.
ReplyDeleteSuzie Homemaker Oven overheated the Cupcakes.
ReplyDeletedang poor JMac...and 33 too
ReplyDeleteI heard Tony was on fire. Missed it.
I saw it, and I liked it. He was tired of questions that made no sense.
ReplyDelete"cautions breed cautions" - over under on how many times DW says this in next 5 min??
ReplyDeleteStill more exciting than the All-Star race? Yes!
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteWhatcha cookin' us for supper?
ReplyDeleteRack of lamb on grill...not sure what else yet!
ReplyDelete3 times on the over/under. Although, the whole Fox crew made it through the entire All-Star race without mentioning the "dreaded aero-push" even once. And, if there ever was a case for it, it was last Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI vote grilled asparagus with lemon butter sauce
ReplyDeleteWe had grilled chicken and broccoli alfredo.
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteWe are outta asparagus...corn on the cob looking likely
When does Larry explain the 'comers and goers' as the race went from day to night?
ReplyDeleteRetweet from Hanny(too good not to share here)
ReplyDeleteReports of a hammer lying on white line in Turn 1. Safety crews claim they can't touch this.
that's what the red flag is for....stop, hammertime!
ReplyDeletewoot Bye Denny!
ReplyDeleteThat's from @nascarcasm... most of his tweets are pretty good.
ReplyDeleteGo Tony!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyea narscarcasm is funny on twitter
ReplyDeletewooot! Kurt to the lead!
ReplyDeleteKenseth had to come back in to fill gas tank. Ugh!
ReplyDeletethose new fuel tanks are tough to get the connection right on...learning curve.
ReplyDeleteis it just me or has Kyle seemingly had a quiet night so far?
ReplyDeleteHey everybody!
ReplyDeleteI've been on mind altering drugs... just woke up and now have to go to work... Life's great, sure would hate to miss it. What is the cure Kristen?
Gotta go...
never mind, he's in 2nd I see, lol
ReplyDeleteJust keep smilin' Dwindy...
ReplyDeleteHello, goodbye, Dwindy.
ReplyDeletewow Kurt BARELY snuck thru there
ReplyDeleteyep, hi and bye, Dwindy :)
ReplyDeleteKyle's been around 7-10th since the first pit stops. Waiting on the night.
ReplyDeleteanyone got any suggestions for Trevor's nickname? Poor kid I hope they figure out what caused that inflammation.
ReplyDeleteNo suggestions, but HOW did DEI AND Mikey let him get away!?!?!? I don't care if he had no driving talent, he is amazing off the track! A 20 year old with that personality.... the Wood Bros should be letting him meet with potential sponsors.
ReplyDeleteKyle spotted the hammer, or mallet as he called it, earlier. Now he see beer cans in turn one. Leading the race, AND supervising the clean up crew!
ReplyDeleteI know what happened to Carl!!!
ReplyDeleteDinger is mad at Carl for air-pushing him. Promises the same.
ReplyDeleteKyle has eagle-eyes!
ReplyDeleteYea Trevor is amazing kid - should be able to write his own ticket.
Gotta love NASCAR rules... from wave around to only cars on the lead lap. WTF!
ReplyDeleteah Nascar nascar...
ReplyDeleteGilly looking very racy... considering DW saw him dropping all that fluid to bring out the last caution.
ReplyDeleteit's rather warm here....opening the windows, back soon.
ReplyDeleteRavel's Bolero in a Burger King commercial??? Who's the oxymoron who came up with that bright idea?
ReplyDeleteLandon practicing his victory slide? Oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteI missed the BK spot, and, after youtubing Ravel's Bolero, I still have no idea how it meshed with a Whopper.
ReplyDeleteYikes....there goes one of my fantasy drivers!
ReplyDeleteI hear Bolero, Ithink Bo Derek, not BK.
ReplyDeletewhen you hear Bolero do you think BK = Brad Keslowski?
ReplyDelete=P
Kyle practicing his victory slide!
ReplyDeleteHow about Gilly taking the blame while standing beside Mark? Mark was very weasel-like.
ReplyDeleteMark is always weasel like! Finally getting racy if only DW would shut up all would be okay with this race!
ReplyDeleteIf Jr finishes in the top 10 does that mean the end of the world- since Danica also finished in the top 10????
ReplyDeleteESPN Sports Center would definitely implode, SB.
ReplyDeleteWould they be able to find enough highlights to fill the program??????
ReplyDeleteJr flirting with top 5...then what!
ReplyDeleteKesenth looking to win you a 'fecta Gene
There goes Wild Thing again!
ReplyDeleteThe booers are getting their money's worth at CMS.
ReplyDeleteboobirds! junior fans gotta be happy with his run - now he'll have to do the National Guard Shuffle and hit the wall in 4 coming to the checkers.
ReplyDeletewow rare mistake by JJ 's crew
ReplyDeleteI bet Chad will be frowning, lol
ReplyDeleteGonna be tight on gas from here.
ReplyDeleteJust heard Harvick's name for the first time all night. He's The Closer, you know.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise from DW, "as good a race as I've seen him (Jr) run all year."
ReplyDeleteJr's last top-5 on a 1.5 miler.... 2008 Coke 600.
ReplyDeletewow...there goes the split screen again! way to steal ESPN's thunder Fox
ReplyDeleteTSN didn't even go to a break, just had the camera following Biffle with no commentary, lol
ReplyDeleteKenseth way short on fuel. Come on yellow!
ReplyDeletewoot woot! go Jr!
ReplyDeleteAaarrrrgggghhh!
ReplyDeleteand Vader blows up trapping Matt a lap down!
ReplyDeleteHope Matty got enough gas for the GWC
ReplyDeleteAh! Potty mouth Chad!!
ReplyDeleteThey have Lucky dogs with less than 10 to go now.
ReplyDeleteJust making up those rules as they go depending on who is lined up where!
ReplyDeleteMike Joy just stole my bump drafting under caution line!
ReplyDeleteGosh dang Jr almost lost the engine shutting it down...
ReplyDeleteone to go...Kurt is good to go in p7!
ReplyDeleteI noticed it at Darlington... they were still giving lucky dogs for the GWC.
ReplyDeleteGreat day of racing!
ReplyDeleteoh wow
ReplyDeleteSecond time I heard Harvick's name all night.
ReplyDeleteDang...Jr almost had it...turn 4 curse on National Guard team...
ReplyDeleteKurt finished 4th - amazing
yeah, and the first was during the driver lineup announcement, Gene.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Memorial Day all...g'nite!
ReplyDeletethey didn't deserve it, but congrats to the #29 bunch...and have a good day off tomorrow all you Americans :)
